Troubleshooting (Sensors) How does the camera detect changes? The camera has 2 sensor features: a visual sensor used for motion detection and person detection. Note: • The camera's sensor features are not designed to be used in situations that require high reliability. We do not recommend use of the sensor features in these situations. • Panasonic takes no responsibility for any injury or damage caused by the use of the camera's sensor features. Visual sensor to detect motion The camera can detect motion by recognizing changes in the areas that are visible to the camera. The camera can detect motion in the following ranges. • Vertical detection range: 63° • Horizontal detection range: 121° Note: • It may not be possible to correctly detect movement when the moving object and the background have similar colors. • Detection may become difficult when the image is dark like evening or night. • Detections may be triggered during rain or snow, or when there is a change of lighting or shadow (e.g., from bedroom lamps, head lights, etc.) • You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera's motion detection feature, and select which areas of the camera image are monitored for motion detection.
